Our InspriationEarth Burger was conceived by the team at Green Vegetarian Cuisine. Since 2007, we've become parents and faced many challenges raising small vegetarians. Finding food that they can eat when we're out running errands is a challenge -- and we want families to have more than just french fries to snack on when they need something fast and easy.

Chris, Lu, Mike & Paul

Our families now include little vegetarians that are always on the go!

Our VisionWe want to be the first all plant-based fast food restaurant in Texas. We believe the best thing for our families is to go to the local farmer's market and take home fresh produce to prepare. However that is often unrealistic in today's fast-paced world.

That's where Earth Burger comes in. We are entering the fast food market with tastier, fresher and healthier alternatives that also happen to be vegan and vegetarian. Our goal is to provide people with great healthy choices at a great value.

At the same time we are doing something better for the planet. Compared to meat-based diets, plant-based diets are good for the environment.

Your Support Will Help TremendouslyOur Kickstarter project will contribute to the successful launch of our new restaurant plan called Earth Burger. Funds raised through Kickstarter will help with the cost of our build-out in Central San Antonio, and equipment purchases.

Where You'll Find UsWe've acquired a drive-thru building in the Park North Shopping Center at the corner of Blanco and NW Loop 410 in San Antonio, TX. Once we've reached our Kickstarter goals, you will be able to drive-thru or dine-in.

Compared to leading fast food items, our Chik-n patty has 2 more grams of protein, Earth Burger's Chik-n Tenders have 3 more grams of diatery fiber, and the Earth Burger beefy patty has 61% less calories than its leading fast food beef patty.

Check out our video, and see what the community has to say in our taste challenges.

Here are a few items that will be on our menu.

Earth Burger

"Fish" Sandwich and Spicy Chik-n Sandwich

Grilled Chik-n Protein Wrap

Let's make history together -- help us launch Texas' first fast-food vegetarian restaurant.

Risks and challenges

San Antonio has a reputation for loving its meat and Tex-Mex food, and it also has the reputation of being one of the fatest cities in the U.S. So, one might say that it is risky to launch a plan-based fast food restaurant in San Antonio, Texas.

This was our same concern back in 2007 when we started Green Vegetarian Cuisine, San Antonio's first all vegetarian casual dining restaurant. The good news is that Texas has fully embraced Green, we've grown to three locations in San Antonio and Houston.

As founders of Green, Earth Burger owners come from a rich heritage of starting and successfully operating independent restaurants. Now we want to take our lessons learned and apply them to an all new concept where people can swing through a drive through and order a great tasting plant-based meal in less than three minutes.
